Chapter 474 Persuading the Uncles

The next day.

Chaoyi Restaurant, 2pm.

On the left, Gao Laosen, Yuanbao and others were sitting on both sides of the long table, checking the account books, recording the money received by the society and verifying it.

A total of 8.7 million, a 20% drop from the previous month.

The police force's comprehensive crackdown on organized crime lasted only one night, but the turmoil caused was such that many citizens were afraid to go to horse stables, gambling dens, or KTVs for half a month. Even the number of bets placed on the Jockey Club's peripherals declined.

Next to the window, Fat Cat held two fitness balls in his hands, playing with them to exercise his palm strength.

Atang was yawning, wearing a suit, sitting in the main seat, drinking tea to refresh himself, feeling sleepy.

Last night, Dr. Liang and Zhou Huimin seemed to have reached a consensus. They pretended to cooperate in the foreplay, but dared to reverse the priorities in the later stage and committed the crime of insubordination, which provoked Yin Zhaotang to become more and more courageous.

Little Tang's status was saved, but Big Tang was squeezed dry and exhausted.

I slept until ten o'clock in the morning, went to Tuodi to have breakfast, attended a meeting, and felt listless again.

Gao Laosen, Yuanbao was calculating the accounts, and his eyes frequently glanced over. After a while, he put down the pen with his left hand and said, "Boss, the accounts have been sorted out."

"There is a surplus of 6 million this month, which can be laundered through the channels in Dan Tart's hands and transferred to the community fund."

Yin Zhaotang perked up, took over the accounts, reviewed them patiently, put them away, nodded and replied, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Zuo Shou smiled and said modestly: "It's just a small thing."

In the eyes of the gang's staff, the left hand that helps the leader to manage the accounts is already fulfilling the responsibility of keeping count and can be regarded as the third most powerful person in the gang.

One day when Grandpa retires, he will become the new Second Marshal.

After finishing the accounts, Yin Zhaotang did not leave as he did in previous months, but instead took a few uncles to chat about the past. Gao Laosen, Yuanbao, and Gensheng were all happy to chat with Atang for a while, happily talking about everything under the sun and gossiping.

Fat Cat didn't turn around, but he guessed that Yin Zhaotang had something to say, so he pricked up his ears quietly. Sure enough, after more than ten minutes of chatting, Yin Zhaotang got to the point and asked, "Uncle Sen, I heard from someone that you usually like to trade stocks?"

Gao Laosen's eyebrows flew up, and with a little pride, he patted his chest and said, "It's not just about stocks. I play with stocks, bonds, and foreign exchange to earn a little pension."

Yin Zhaotang couldn't help laughing and advised, "There's gossip that international finance will be unstable in the next one or two years. You've seen the Hong Kong stock market crash, so don't play around."

In another year, Japan will sign the Plaza Accord, voluntarily intervening in the foreign exchange market with the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, and lowering the dollar exchange rate by selling U.S. debt.

The depreciation of the dollar may seem to have led to a decline in purchasing power on paper, but at the national financial level, it has helped the United States reduce a large amount of debt. In January 1985, the exchange rate of the dollar to the yen was still around 1. In February 130, when the Plaza Accord was signed, the exchange rate reached 1985 yen, a sharp increase of 2%.

The German mark appreciated by 102%, the French franc appreciated by 76%, and the British pound appreciated by 75%.

Originally, the United States had to pay two dollars to repay a debt of 260 yen, but now it only needs one dollar, and the debt to Japan has been halved. This triggered an economic crisis in Japan, a stock market crash, and the lost three decades, which shattered Japan's dream of becoming a powerful country.

The signing of the Plaza Accord by Japan, France, Germany and the United Kingdom was actually a surrender to the United States in order to gain access to the U.S. market and continue the financial appeasement policy for economic development.

History has proven that it is useless to raise the white flag with the United States. The Americans will only eat and drink, suck the marrow out of us. When the debt is on the verge of bankruptcy next time, they will come with aircraft carriers and demand that the currencies of various countries appreciate, so as to carry out financial harvesting.

The four countries were not fools, but unfortunately, the subsequent US market was not occupied by the products of the four countries. After completing industrialization, the mainland relied on cheap labor and a complete supply chain to quickly fill the containers of the world's consumer market with products labeled "Made in China". The Plaza Accord in 85 was a tariff war against the four countries, the same as the one against "Made in China" thirty years later.

It's just that this time the four countries surrendered, and the weakest island of Japan collapsed. Thirty years later, the Chinese land will fight to the end.

Yin Zhaotang, who had personally experienced the trade war, knew that the economies of the four countries would go downhill. It was not just Japan that was in decline, but all the countries that signed the Plaza Accord would become economic colonies of the United States.

I already knew that Gao Laosen and a group of uncles were speculating in Japanese stocks, and I didn't want to clean up the mess for these old bones, so of course I had to give them some advice in advance.

Gao Laosen was still immersed in his dream of becoming a stock god. He smiled and said, "The Hong Kong stock market crash has nothing to do with me. I have all my money in the Tokyo Stock Exchange."

"Easily earning five million in a year is no worse than starting a company."

Yin Zhaotang smiled and nodded, then asked, "Uncle, if you don't want to take out the money, don't blame me for not reminding you in the future."

Yuanbao was not as impressive as Gao Lao. Seeing that Shenxian Tang was trying to dissuade him, he became afraid and asked, "Ah Tang, do you think Japanese stocks cannot be traded?"

Many of the uncles in the society had their pensions given to Gao Laosen to manage. If they were to evaporate in the Japanese stock market, it would bring hidden dangers to the society. But the Japanese stock market was booming and rising every day, so it was difficult to get people to withdraw.

When you lose, redeem and leave the market is called "cutting losses", and when you win, knowing when to stop is called "stock god"

Yin Zhaotang was a smart man, so he could only give a roundabout way of persuading her: "I don't know whether Japanese stocks can be speculated, but the Sino-British Agreement is about to be signed, and Hong Kong stocks will soon rise again."

"Not only stock prices, but also property prices will rise. If you don't buy the bottom of the Hong Kong market now and still invest in Japanese stocks, you may end up picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons."

People were skeptical about Yin Zhaotang's comments on Japanese stocks, but when it came to Hong Kong stocks, they believed him without a doubt. Yin Zhaotang's business ability was secondary, the main thing was that he had connections, and maybe he could really get the inside information of Hong Kong stocks!

Gao Laosen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Ah Tang, are Hong Kong stocks going to start to rise?"

"Do you have any news?" Yuanbao came forward and lowered his voice.

Heaven promised: "Let your uncles know about this. When they make money, they will not forget you."

Yin Zhaotang didn't say anything definite, in order to avoid the news spreading and the Commercial Crime Unit coming to visit, but he just made a well-reasoned analysis: "The decline in Hong Kong Island is due to the confrontation between China and Britain, which caused chaos?"

"Once the Sino-British agreement is signed and the chaos subsides, the Hong Kong stock market will definitely rise. The Japanese stock market has been rising for so many years, can it still double again? But the Hong Kong government is at the bottom. With the support of the domestic market and property market, there will be no problem for the stock price to double in the future."

"When doing business, it's better to do big business than small business."

Gao Laosen nodded slowly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right: "Yes, the mainland is stronger than the foreigners. As long as the turmoil ends and the agreement is signed, it is guaranteed that there will be no war in Hong Kong Island."

"With the mainland being stronger than the foreigners, the stock market has returned to its previous level. A little water and a few cups of wine are no big deal. It seems that we need to withdraw our investment and return to Hong Kong to avoid risks."

It is harder than climbing to the sky to ask addicted gamblers to leave the table, but if you tell them that they can be upgraded to the VIP room and play at a table with higher odds, they will all be smiling and very happy.

At that moment, all the uncles present were interested in coming back to trade Hong Kong stocks, and they were talking about it.

Only Fat Cat looked back at Yin Zhaotang, vaguely aware of Atang's good intentions, and secretly displeased with Gao Laosen and the others: "A bunch of old bones who love gambling, and they still need the younger generation to support them. No wonder the club didn't develop well with them before, it's really bad!"
